H.323 support for Cisco TelePresence SX10 Quick Set
The Cisco TelePresence SX10 Quick Set has added support for the H.323 protocol in alignment with
other endpoints in the Collaboration Endpoint portfolio.
Support for LDAP user authentication
A new configuration set has been added to support admin user authentication towards an LDAP
service for all Collaboration Endpoints that are running CE8.2.0 and above. Please note that the local
admin user will always be present and active.
The LDAP feature works with any standard LDAP service, for example Microsoft Active Directory. It is
enabled and configured through the web interface/API of the codec, or bulk provisioned by UCM.
See instructions below on how to log in with LDAP credentials after the endpoint is correctly
configured to use an LDAP service for authentication:
§
Web: <domain>\<LDAP username> or <LDAP username>@<domain>
§
Touch 10 Administrator settings: <LDAP username>@<domain>
§
Secure shell: ssh -l <LDAP username>@<domain> <codec-IP>
o Note that logging in via SSH and Touch 10 does not support the
<domain>\<LDAP username> format
o Touch 10 cannot be paired to the endpoint using LDAP credentials
The endpoint connects to the LDAP service directly to authenticate the user. All the users that can
authenticate through the LDAP service will be administrators; this feature does not support non-admin
user roles.
Touch 10 pairing with non-admin credentials
The Touch 10 panel can be paired remotely to a codec running CE8.2.0 and above using non-admin
or admin credentials. Only the "User" role is required.
When the Touch 10 is successfully paired, admin credentials are required to modify the Administrator
settings as before for example, un-pairing the Touch 10 panel from the codec.
This feature may simplify scenarios where non-admin users on-site are in a situation where they must
pair the Touch 10 to the codec for any reason. An administrator can create a regular user intended for
this scenario, and provide these credentials to the user without compromising security. The regular
user can safely be deleted from the codec after the Touch 10 panel has been paired successfully.
